Product Description

Breaking away from the tired practice of pixel counting, the FinePix F30 Zoom is the world's first digital compact camera to deliver ISO 3200 sensitivity at full resolution. Fujifilm has identified sensitivity as one of the major photographic benchmarks for the digital age, and this camera makes it possible to capture images of unrivalled quality, even in very dark conditions. showcases a new ?intelligent flash' system which uses the camera's exceptional sensitivity to combine natural foreground illumination with balanced exposure in the background. Avoiding both the messy background blur of ?slow-sync' flash, and the stark contrast of conventional flash, this will bring your after-hours photography to life.

Finepix F30 uses a rechargeable battery that is CIPA rated to have a capacity of up to 500 pictures per charge. With a 6.3 effective megapixel rating, still pictures have great detail. It can even shoot movies up to 640x480 VGA resolution.Exposure Modes - Programmed AE (AUTO/SP), Aperture Priority AE, Shutter Priority AE / 256 zone meteringPreprogrammed Scene Modes (SP) Natural Light/Natural Light & with Flash/Portrait/ Landscape/Sport/Night/Fireworks/Sunset/Snow/ Beach/Underwater/ Museum/Party/ Flower Close-Up /Text2.5 LCD10MB internal memory + xD-PictureCard slot (We advise an optional 512MB XD-card for practical use of this camera)Built-in electronic-flash - Auto, Red-eye Reduction, Forced Flash, Suppressed Flash, Slow Synchro, Red-eye Reduction + Slow Synchro modesPictBridge compatibleUnit Dimensions (W x H x D) 3.6 (W) x 2.2 (H) x 1.1 (D) / Weight 5.5 oz.

Great small camera, fantastic video, better than PowerShot SD600 and SD700

I love my FinePix F30.I know what a great camera it is because I have compared its performance against two of its most highly rated competitors.I took a set of pictures and several videos on both a Canon PowerShot SD600 and SD700 in a Best Buy, recording them on an SD memory card.Once I later purchased the F30 I took it to the same Best Buy and shot a set of similar pictures and videos.Then I compared the Canon pictures and videos with those from my F30 on my 1289 x 1024 computer screen.All the...

A few other points

Other reviews are quite extensive on the F30.I just wanted to add that I discoverred that, while Fuji says you must use slow type M XD cards, the camera works fine and fast with the older plain XD cards.512MB says I have about 180 pictures to go, which is plenty for me.Auto mode defaults to ISO1600 and never switches to ISO 3200, even in pitch blackness.To get ISO3200 you need to be in "Manual."Movie mode makes huge AVI files.The "stabilization" labels are a lie.Maybe the F40 will have optical stabilization...

Superb

I've owned 5 digital cameras; I'm an amateur who goes back to the SLR days.I have liked my prior two Fuji's but have had reliability problems, battery life problems, exposure problems.Minor.I decided to step up.I was looking at any and everythingi from Panasonic/Canon/Olympus to Leica.I could afford anything and had 2 cameras to trade in.I finally settled on the F30.First of all I was impressed with the uniformity of excellent reviews across a whole range of sites online.Second, my local camera...

Don't let the small lens fool you....a top-shelf camera with rockgut price

unbelievable performance in low light.The flash will light up people or objects in complete darkness that are 60 feet away.Sturdy construction, with an extensive menu that is also easy to use.Who else offers a camera with a "Party" setting?There is a reason this camera won a European trade association's Camera of the Year award.Cons: xD cards are harder to find and pricier than SD cards, but so what....you might pay $25 more, and how many people have more than 2 x 1 gig cards?Store your photos on...

Best compact digital for available light

I enjoy available light photography with fast lenses and Leica cameras.When using P&S digitals, I've been frustrated by poor image quality at 400 and higher ASAs (like muddy old VHS tapes), slow lenses, and sluggish shutter lag.The Fuji definitely takes a huge stride at the high-speed image quality problem (possibly the best 800/1600/3200 images of any digital P&S), has a reasonably fast f2.8 lens and decent shutter timing.It can definitely take good photos without flash in bars and restaurants...
